DECORATE weapon replace

Post by Doom A Holic »

I have this decorate lump and I want it to replace the bfg9000 instead of creating a new actor, what do I do?

Code: Select all

actor BFG2704 : BFG9000
{
Inventory.Pickupmessage "You got the BFG2704!  Oh, yes."
States
{
Spawn:

Ready:

Deselect:

Select:

Fire:
        BAL2 A 0 A_FireCustomMissile("CacodemonBall", 32, 0, 0) 
        BAL1 A 5 A_FireCustomMissile("DoomImpBall", 32, 0, 0) 
        BAL2 A 5 A_FireCustomMissile("CacodemonBall", 32, 0, 0)

First of all get rid of Spawn, Ready, Deselect and Select. You will have overridden the normal ones with nulls.

Now when I summon it in the console, it actually looks like a bfg on the ground, now what?

The BFG in my hand dissappears and it shoots the fireballs. Then I can't shoot anymore, or change weapons. lol

Shouldn't it be inheritaing all the frames from the bfg9000?

It dissappears because of "Stop". The remedy is "Goto Ready".

The reason it dissappears is because you need to use the BFG's sprites (BFGG**, BFGF**), and not fireball ones.

Not to be a pest or anything but, it doesn't use any ammo. I added "Weapon.AmmoUse 40" but it still doesn't use any ammo.

thats because in the custom missile pointers you have to define how much it uses. It doesn't matter what you set the ammo use to. It matters in the code pointer

Make sure that you're using the unnofficial build of ZDoom. If you still get this error in the unofficial version, just remove the line that starts with Inventory.Pickupmessage.
